ImportantNote

The Marking Head requires a DC power supply capable of providing 30 VDC at 7 A minimum

If substituting power supplies use a well-regulated DC power supply in the range of 30 V to 32 V with no more than 3 V overshoot under a 10ndash90 modulation load The use of short leads and terminations rated for the appropriate output current is recom-mended

Do not reverse polarity when connecting the DC Power cable between the DC power supply and the Se-ries 48 laser

Attach the red (+) wire(s) from the DC Power cable to the positive (+) 48 VDC output terminal and attach the black (-) wire(s) from the DC Power cable to the negative (-) 48 VDC output terminal

Serious personal injury

Always use shielded cable when connecting your PWM Com-mand signal source to PWM PositivePWM Negative inputs

In electrically-noisy environments long lengths of unshielded wire act like an antenna and may generate enough voltage to trigger un-commanded lasing
